It was almost noon when Lin Muyu returned to Zhongnan City with the remnants of the demon clan. The heavy snow was flying. Tang Xiaoxi led the elite cavalry of the Gentian Camp in Zhongnan City to meet twenty miles outside the city. The two sides met on the snowy field.
Tang Xiaoxi was very pleased to see Lin Muyu returning safely.
However, when Tang Xiaoxi's gaze fell on Qian Feng, Qian Feng was still somewhat cramped and embarrassed.
"The defeated general, Qianfeng, see His Royal Highness Xi." He respectfully saluted the princess in the manner of the demon clan.
"Don't be polite, I am not Feng Yuan's daughter."
Tang Xiaoxi said with a faint smile, "Feng Yuan has always treated me like a daughter. What you want is the demon power in me."
Qianfeng was a little stunned: "Is Princess Xi still hating what the Protoss did to you?"
"I will never forget."
Tang Xiaoxi turned on his horse, the red cloak spinning in the snow, turned around and took a deep look at Qian Feng, and said, "If it weren't for your Saint Master and Yao Ji, I wouldn't have killed Xiao Yin. This hatred for my whole life I will never forget it. Qianfeng, the union between humans and the demons is only Mu Mu's intention. I respect the wishes of King Qin, but it doesn't mean that I don't hate the demons."
Qianfeng laughed at himself: "Alright, I am the marshal of the Protoss. Now your majesty and the two princesses are dead, their heads are different, and their heads are missing. All the hatred [vented to my Qianfeng's body. It's not too much."
Lin Muyu walked up with the reins of the war horse, stretched out her hand to press Tang Xiaoxi's leg on the horseback, and said: "Xiaoxi, don't say anything, now and then, some of the accounts are on Qian Feng's head for him. It's not fair."
Tang Xiaoxi nodded and said softly: "Well, I see."
Lin Muyu looked at Qianfeng again and said: "The heads of Feng Yuan, Feng Jing'er, and Feng Ning'er were sent to Dongshuang City by the Tianji Empire as gifts. I have ordered them to be buried in the manner of the King of the Great Qin Empire. "
"real?"
Qianfeng's body trembled subconsciously, and said, "Thank you, His Majesty King Qin... After I settle down, can I pay homage to His Majesty and the two princesses?"
"that is your freedom."
Lin Muyu exhaled and said, "Everyone has been walking all night, so hurry up and eat something hot in Zhongnan City, or I'm afraid many people will get sick."
"good."
Tang Xiaoxi said, "Mu Mu, do you really want to allow these demons to enter Zhongnan City?"
Her meaning is self-evident. Three months ago, the demons were still fighting the Empire in the Eight Wastes. They were mortal enemies, but now they want the two armies to coexist peacefully. I am afraid that many people will not accept this fact.
"Xiaoxi, what do you think?" Lin Muyu asked.
Tang Xiaoxi pursed his red lips: "The Longdan camp and the Zhongnan family's army have been fighting repeatedly, and the grievances have long been deep. If they are allowed to enter Zhongnan City, friction will inevitably occur. In a small town outside the city, where there are enough houses, food can be transported from Zhongnan City."
"What does Marshal Qianfeng mean?" Lin Muyu asked.
Qianfeng's expression was calm: "His Royal Highness can just call me Qianfeng. The Protoss is defeated and I am no longer a marshal. As for the resident, it is all based on the arrangements of His Highness."
"Do not worry."
Lin Muyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your Protoss will re-emerge. Let's go through this period of time. Besides... We probably won't live in Zhongnan City for long."
"Why?" Tang Xiaoxi asked in astonishment.
Lin Muyu cast his gaze on the northern snowy area, revealing a hint of helplessness and sadness, and said: "Zhongnan City is located on the Eight Waste Plains, and the Eight Waste Plains is the snowy area to the north, but there is no danger at all. There are a few passes. All are only a few meters high. If we guard the Eight Wastelands, the loss will be very heavy."
"What do you mean by that Mumu?"
"Prepare to retreat to Tongtianxia."
Qianfeng was shocked: "His Royal Highness Yu wants to give up a huge eight wasteland to the Tianji Empire?"
"We have no choice." Lin Muyu wiped the snow from his shoulders, and took the reins of the snow stepper. "The Longdan Camp can't be worn out meaninglessly. In the battle last night, I think the defending Qiu side was damaged. Few people?"
Tang Xiaoxi was a little sad, and said: "In order to save these people of the Demon Race, the Longdan Camp has killed more than 13,000 people in the snowy area last night until now, and more than half of the more than 6,000 people who came back were wounded. , Even Wei Qiu himself was seriously injured. He is now resting in Zhongnan City. It was just one night, and our wounded camp and medicine were not enough."
"what… "
Lin Muyu's heart hurts, her fists clenched.
Qian Feng frowned, and said: "It is my fault to let Longdanying suffer such a loss. Please rest assured, Your Highness, Tianji Empire will destroy my entire clan. The empire is dealing with it to the end!"
"Well, keep your strength first and let's go."
Lin Muyu turned on his horse and said, "Come on, send more scouts to investigate the situation of the Longji Corps. In addition, send scouts and warhawks to investigate the coastal area."
"Yes!"
The wind and snow were precarious, and the team headed towards Zhongnan City.
Zhongnan City, this thousand-year-old city wall is so mottled, it is like an old man standing on the northern edge of the mainland. When a powerful enemy arrives, this old man appears so vulnerable that he can't stop it at all. The offense of Zhongnan City Ironshoe.
Qianfeng's department arranged to enter the small town to rest. Although it is only a decaying town, it is like a paradise for the demons who have been lingering for months in the frozen polar region, and can drink a sip of hot water. , Eating a fragrant steamed bun is such an extravagant desire for them, even the face of the marshal Qianfeng is very ugly, it is obviously due to lack of nutrition.
Walking on the main street of Zhongnan City, the horseshoe stepped on the thick snow, rustling constantly.
"Is Long Yu Douxuan really fearless of Demon Crystal Cannon?" Tang Xiaoxi thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.
Lin Muyu nodded: "Yes, Marshal Qianfeng can prove this."
Qianfeng's face was tragic, and said: "Long Yu Douxuan seems to be the natural nemesis of the magic crystal. We dispatched five hundred Wing Man brothers to launch a suicide attack, but they did not receive even the slightest effect. They used their lives to prove it. Long Yu Douxuan's reason for restraining the magic crystal."
"It's not just them."
Tang Xiaoxi said in a calm voice: "There are also more than 10,000 warriors in the Longdan Camp. They are also blood-stained on the battlefield because of Long Yu Douxuan's power."
Qianfeng was a little silent, and after a few seconds, he said lightly: "I'm sorry."
Lin Muyu felt extremely uncomfortable. Tang Xiaoxi's hatred of the Demon Race was deeper than he thought. This battle really caused the loss of more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the Longdan Camp because of the Demon Race. This pair of imperial troops came. It was also a heavy blow, but Lin Muyu knew very well in her heart that she must reconcile this contradiction, otherwise it would cause catastrophe in the future.
"Xiaoxi, the demons are also the victim." He looked at Tang Xiaoxi next to him, his eyes soft, and said: "Imagine that the tens of thousands of troops of the Dragon Ji Corps cooperated with the Tian Ji Dragon Cavalry Group to cross the Northern Glacier Continental Bridge. A surprise attack, and it happened that the Demon Race’s army encountered them in the north. In fact, the Demon Race blocked the knife for our Great Qin Empire. In a sense, we are also grateful for the sacrifice made by the Demon Race.”
Tang Xiaoxi opened her mouth in astonishment and murmured her head. Lin Muyu's words awakened the person in her dream and made her change in an instant.
Qianfeng's voice was very bitter: "It's a pity that the price of this sacrifice is the lives of our majesty and two majesty."
"Ning'er is my friend, I won't let her die in vain."
Tang Xiaoxi looked at the distant sky with a pair of beautiful eyes, clenched his pink fists, a faint flame lingering around him, and said, "The Dragon Corps killed Ning'er. I will settle this account with them, and pay the blood debt!"
"Yes, the blood is paid back!" Qianfeng gritted his teeth.
Lin Muyu was silent. What he thought was when to retreat. Zhongnan City would definitely not be able to stay. Once the main force of the Tianji Empire crossed the sea, it would be able to encircle Zhongnan City in a blink of an eye. I'm afraid it's hard to go.
At this time, he had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in Zhongnan City, with gauze wrapped on Wei Qiu's shoulders, and walked out with the help of several guards.
"Guardian."
Lin Muyu greeted him.
However, Wei Qiu knelt on the ground with weak legs, tears streaming down: "Your Majesty, the incompetence of his subordinates caused the death of more than 10,000 brothers in the Longdan Camp, and even unable to take back their bodies. This is my guardian of the enemy. Passed!"
Behind them, a group of senior generals of the Gentian camp knelt down together, and almost everyone of them was injured and in a panic.
Lin Muyu can't remember how long the Longdan Camp has not suffered such a defeat. Since the Empire developed the Magic Crystal Cannon, the Longdan Camp has been victorious in all battles, but the battle last night left everyone scared and absolutely powerful. The gap almost completely destroyed their self-confidence and morale. The next important thing does not seem to be how to evacuate, but how to rebuild morale.
"Guardian, get up."
Lin Muyu got off his horse, helped Wei Qiu up, and said: "The soldiers who died in battle are all warriors of the empire. They died for the country, and their names will always be recorded in the Zhenguo Stele Forest. Get up quickly. The ground is cold."
"His Royal Highness."
Wei Qiu wiped away his tears and said, "His Royal Highness, they are too strong..."
"I know, go in and eat something first."
"Yes!"
"Come here, write a Yushu and send it back to the Eastern Capital, telling King Xin and King Zhong that Long Yu Douxuan can completely defend against the magic crystal cannon, so that they can prepare early."
"Yes!"
After entering the hall, a few tables of food have been laid out, but only the dishes have no wine, and the gentian camp failed miserably. Today, no one has the mind to drink and can't taste the taste of fine wine.
Qian Feng sat next to Lin Muyu, looking at the delicious food at the table, feeling bitter in his heart.
eat…
I don't know the taste.
But his body needs nourishment, so Qian Feng has eaten a lot, so that many of the ten thousand chiefs of the Longdan camp cast contemptuous eyes.
Qianfeng just bowed his head and ate the food, swallowing, as if swallowing hatred and shame.
